Usama bin Ladin appeared on Aljazeera television on Friday accusing US President George W. Bush of deceiving the American people.
In an address just days ahead of the US presidential election, bin Ladin also said the US administration resembled "corrupt" Arab governments.
He accused Bush of reacting slowly to the September 11 attacks, saying: "I never thought that the supreme leader would leave 50,000 of his people in the two towers to face the terrifying events alone at the time they were in need for him."
Refering to next week's elections, he told Americans: "Your security is not in the hands of (Democratic candidate John) Kerry or (President George W.) Bush or al-Qaida. Your security is in your own hands ...."
He accused Bush of "misleading" the American people four years after the September 11 attacks.
Claiming responsibility for the attacks, bin Ladin said, "we decided to destroy towers in America," because "we want to regain the freedom of our nation."
He added that "the reasons to repeat what happened" on 11 September 2001 remain.

Did this end with the voice of John Kerry saying, "I'm John Kerry and I paid for this announcement"...?

Claiming responsibility for the attacks, bin Ladin said, "we decided to destroy towers in America," because "we want to regain the freedom of our nation."That would be the NATION OF ISLAMOFASCISM.

Wonderful!!!
I expect Kerry to seize upon this.

You know -- now that I think about it, Osama looks like Kerry with a nose job. And Edwards kinda looks like the diaper wearing fool he travels with.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Why are the changing the reasons for Bin Laden coordinating the Sept 11 attacks? It was because of Israel invading Lebanon in 1982. And now it's because they want to regain freedom of their nation? Which nation? Lebanon?
I just wish they'd put out a transcript so we can read his words ourselves and stop paraphrasing with a bunch of "..." in between sound bites.

Michael Medved was interviewing Richard Dreyfuss when this tape suddenly came up. Dreyfuss insists that this does NOT help Bush and it's just too early to tell with the weekend and blah blah blah.
He sounds even more like a loon when he's unscripted.

I know it's only been an hour since the tape was released, but not having access to a full transcript is getting annoying.
From what I've read, it's apparent that he wants to sow seeds of doubt about Bush amongst Americans and, most importantly, he (as he's done before) tries to leverage this unease into goading the American people into pressuring their govenrment into changing US policy towards Israel and ending its support.
Nothing new, really.

Ben Laden's tape will take Kerry off message until Tuesday.
However, ben Laden will continue to kill infidels no matter who is elected.
He likes it.
